Think Marijuana Smoking Causes Lung Cancer? Read These.
I found these two studies a while back while I was searching for evidence of a link between marijuana smoking and lung cancer. Basically, the concept is that even though smoke in general is carcinogenic, the cannabinoids in marijuana exert various protective effects and inhibit tumor growth. If you know of any additional studies which—with sound methodology—either affirm or negate what I have posted, please share them by commenting below.

Good findings! It really bugs me when studies like these are done and tobacco use is not accounted for, so it was good to see that tobacco use was taken into consideration. I look forward to smoking weed till I die of old age =)
